4 -->The Opening Shloka in Kalidasa's Raghuvamsa...(Awesome)!!

This is one of my personal favorites...

वागर्थाविव संपृक्तौ वागर्थप्रतिपत्तये|

जगतः पितरौ वन्दे पार्वतीपरमेश्वरौ||

--> I salute the parents of the world, Parvati and Parameswara, who are inseparable like the "vAk" (word) and "artha"(its meaning); to gain expertise in the right understanding of the words and their meanings.

I indeed feel this shloka is beautiful...the meaning makes it so!

Kalidasa wrote it as the opening verse for a literary masterpiece "Raghuvamsam".

What a wonderful comparison this is !!

The "word" and "its meaning" have been compared to "Parvati" and "Parameswara"...

As Siva and Sakti cannot exist without each other....so cannot the word and its meaning...

The meaning makes a word meaningful...

Just the meaning without the word also won't make any sense...

so, they are indeed "the inseparable..."

3 --> Here is a funny one...! *(Not to offend anybody)*

वैध्यराज नमः तुभ्यं, यमराजसहोदर |

यमः तु हरति प्राणम्, वैध्यराजः धनानि च ||

--> Oh Doctor, I salute you! You are the brother of Yama Raja(Lord Of Death). Yama Raja takes only the life, but doctor takes the money too! :D

2 -->

आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते पादं शिष्यः स्वमेधया|

पादं सब्रह्मचारिभ्यः पादं कालक्रमेण च||

--> A quarter portion of all learning is obtained from the teacher, a quarter through his(the student's) own intellect. A quarter is obtained from his fellow students, and another quarter of the knowledge gets accumulated with the passage of time.

1 -->

अमन्त्रम् अक्षरम् नास्ति, नास्ति मूलम् अनौषधम्|

अयोग्यः पुरुषः नास्ति, योजकः तत्र दुर्लभः ||

--> There is no syllable from which a mantra cannot be made, there is no root (herb) from which a medicine cannot be made. There is no person who is incapable, who is difficult to find is the one who is organized.
